A new worry to worry about (and slay).
Gaining weight from being home too much and eating because of stress.
Five new pounds in the first ten days of retirement.
The good news? Was down to 153. So in reality, only up two.
Whatever, right?
Imagine getting to a place where you can feel the difference in two pounds – either way.

How is your bucket list coming along? It’s so easy to put things off for later.
Before you know it though, later sneaks up on you and stares you in the face.
Doesn’t it?

Click here to read about the most legendary coach of all time. You won’t recognize his name, but his record of accomplishment will blow you away.
The only reason you are invited, and encouraged, to read it is because most have never heard of this remarkable coach, his vision, his habits, his life. Soon enough, he will fade away, along with his amazing accomplishments.
This really is your only opportunity. Your life is too busy to come back. Being excellent at what you do requires you to work harder than the people who are good and very good at what you do.
So why do it now? Because if you don’t have time now, you won’t have it later either. This is the way life works and why those who are excellent develop a “do it now” habit.
Excellent people also know that their next best idea can come from others who are extraordinarily excellent.
Why? Because it could hold a simple angle or simple tactic to your success. But you may never know….
Lane 8 at 2009 World Championships in Lahti, Finland.
That’s “Jack”, my son’s Teddy Bear. He has three exactly alike. He got them as gifts years ago. The collar is actually inscribed “Jack”.
Our son was born in August 2000. My Dad, Jack Noel, passed on, April 2001.
My Father, and our son, never met. We were two months away from our trip to Pennsylvania when the phone call came, “They’re giving your dad three days”.
So, “Jack” the bear, has traveled extensively. He’s the one with two torn ears. The other “Jacks” are in near perfect condition. Our son was gracious enough to let the “tug-o-war with our yellow Lab” Jack travel.
Find a million ways, gimmicks, tricks – whatever it takes – to stay motivated. Jack is simply one of them.
On the drive to Victory Martial Arts “Safety Demonstration” (recruiting) yesterday, I reminded our son there was no expectation that he enroll and take lessons.
All the children participated, even the first timers. Our son eagerly lined up. Surprisingly, two of his friends are members there and graciously welcomed him into the atmosphere.
Off to a great start and then somewhere in the middle it got more intense and he felt uncomfortable with his skill level, and returned to the audience with me.
I could not have been more proud. He tried something. He did his best. I didn’t push him, even though I could have. He’s nine. How hard do you push yourself? He’ll get were he needs to go. Will you?
